you need to create a @kindle.com address in your amazon account and email it to that.

Hi Jeff
I have created kindle cloud for email transfer, but english hexapla is unable to be read because file type is not supported.
i could not open the file on my desktop, because it is adobe acrobat reader could not open the file because it is not a supported file type, or the file has been damaged by sending by email.
I would like to download english hexapla, skeat's etymological dictionary 2nd edition, and the great bible 1540, onto some sort of device preferably ereader to use in a mobile situation, without resorting to internet access to use them. i would like to have them stored on a device so that i can navigate them mobile.
how is this possible, please?

the mobi should work in kindle. you can download the epub or pdf to read offline in adobe digital editions or calibre. mobi also works in calibre.
